I would go for the epoisses and also get proscuitto de parma ($30/lb). They also have amazing Norwegian cured salmon.Jessica LeeMon, 12 May 2008 15:31:50 -0000http://www.crispyontheoutside.com/2008/05/07/readers-what-should-50-get-me-at-dean-deluca/#comment-2664486I'd probably go to the cheese counter and ask the salesperson to surprise me with a sampler of $50 worth of imported cheeses.Pete GuitherThu, 08 May 2008 00:09:27 -0000http://www.crispyontheoutside.com/2008/05/07/readers-what-should-50-get-me-at-dean-deluca/#comment-2664485I can't tell you what else to buy ... but I insist that you buy at least the Sugar Tower (on sale for $20!): <a href="http://deandeluca.com/pantry/baking-ingredients/sugar-tower.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://deandeluca.com/pantry/baking-ingredients...</a><br><br>Who do you know has a sugar tower?

Their Chinese five-spice blend is particularly sharp. It's always fun to pick up items not typically sold elsewhere, like super-fancy canned fish, uncommon mushrooms, rare small birds, a weird cheese, or old cured pork... Perhaps you could do five-spiced squabs stuffed with matsutakes or something like that. For more immediate satisfaction, their little meatloafs (meatloaves?) from the cafe are great.Dave G.Wed, 07 May 2008 10:55:28 -0000
